| The turning point for the season was the signings of Escare, Green and Tanginoa that brought a new dimension to the team.

Completely agree. Brough could easily have had the man of the match but Kelepi played 60 minutes straight with 20 at prop. Really runs with intent.
Be interesting to see where we play him next year as he's on Ashurst's side at the moment.
Ultimately defence won us that game. We really shut them out.

He's one of those players who you hate when he's playing against you, but I imagine he'd be a folklore hero playing for you.

Escare has done really well since joining and has no doubt played his art in helping keep us up.
If the rumours are true that we’re signed Alex Walker I’d be delighted with that and I’d say thanks and let Escare go and keep Hampshire instead for his utility value as I think he adds more overall...

Yep... Danny pulled the stops out tonight, no doubt. Let's be honest...he had not pulled many performances out like that this season and Ive been worried about him. But I had a funny feeling a match winner like him would turn up big time tonight. And class told

| Excellent performance last night, with Trinity deserved winners but, games like this are always tempered with a thought for the opposition.
London have been great value this season and at the start of the year, some were even predicting that they may not win a game and as Trinity fans, we know that they did rather better than that.
The 400 mile round trip on a Friday evening (well afternoon really) is a great effort from their fans, especially when they were expecting to face the drop and to fail on points difference is mighty unlucky.
Looking forward to next season, it would be great if we could secure Escare, Green and Tangata, who have all made a great impact since coming in and if we can have some better luck with injuries (understatement) hopefully we can be looking up, rather than down next season.
Glad that we've kept our place in the top flight but, equally glad that the season is done. It's been hard going at times this year.
Roll on 2020 and lets hope that Salford spring a surprise in the play offs

Brough was excellent last night, and like I've said on here I had no problems with the way he was playing before he got injured. But next year he's another year older, and it's unrealistic to expect him to perform week in week out. If all our major players are injury free next year, 'success' could well depend on who plays scrum half for the majority of games, because if Hampshire goes, we have to sign someone better than Reynolds.......

Agreed.
Went on the pitch at the end and to be honest, went to console the London players and staff.
They have been a credit to Super League.

I bet the London players and staff were glad and genuinely made up to have your admiration. Dont you think they should be spending that time going over to there own supporters, you know the people who will be genuinely upset that they have been relegated.

That's the way I see it too.
Maybe even bring their family on to share the experience while all the fans can see all the players from the terrace.
What I don't understand is that the people running on and especially the flare thrower pay to watch Wakefield and I assume want the best for Wakefield, but when the club says how they want to do it and warn about potential fines from RFL, or how it will be perceived by current and prospective supports that will take us to the next level, they just ignore it.
Carter was perfectly right when he said we'll get the club we deserve.
It's no big deal, no one was hurt...... But it's just another chip on an already well chipped club.
